Zombie Apocalypse: 'The Zombies Are Coming,' Homeland Security Warns

I think it's preparedness month...I thought I heard something on the radio about it being national disaster preparedness month...zombies are just
"in" right now..Illinois uses the whole zombie thing too for different things..

I don't think there will ever be a zombie apocalypse...not like the walking dead...that would just be crazy---This whole think is
silliness..really----

Lunatic Fringe - I know you're out there
You're in hiding, and you hold your meetings
I can hear you coming, and I know what you're after
We're wise to you this time we won't let you kill the laughter

yes sir i did, that is one of my all time favorite tunes.
in my younger days i sat and zoned listening to it,after indulging in... well you know
and when driving down the interstate cranked up just as loud as it would go.

this is really about anti-semitism. might apply if you are playing return to castle wolfenstein.
but it's a great song thanks.

"Lunatic Fringe" is a song by the Canadian rock band Red Rider from their 1981 album, As Far as Siam. Guitarist Tom Cochrane wrote the song after
becoming concerned about a resurgence of anti-Semitism in the 1970s, and was also inspired after reading a book about Raoul Wallenberg, who rescued
Jews from The Holocaust during World War II.[1]

So what do you think about this warning from homeland security?
Are they using levity to get a massage of being ready for anything as another member suggested or are they expecting zombies?

Ah Deadeyedick !
didnt realise it was you

those zombies in reality are demons with souls that are completely lost and confuse
they need blood and flesh to survive to get more strong
yes they are getting their message out in a way that nobody really care except the ones that know the truth

my own mother is a witch that was burned for witchcraft in another life
i think she though i would become a jinn .. 2012 has been a crazy yrs so far
be safe

It seems that the government just can't overuse this threat. It does get old to me. I can't see the need to keep cramming this thought into peoples
heads unless it is a real threat. Do they really think that using some event like this will cause us to prepare for the worst and that will save us
from other events like eq's or hurricanes. Just more fear for the masses. imo However i got prepared and ready for zombies or disasters when the cdc
first used this same tactic last year.
What say you ats?

I think they are right.

Far too many people expect the federal government to provide for them in any event, and that would simply not be possible under all circumstances.

We've seen it happen again and again, the government is slow to respond, often inefficient, incredibly bureaucratic.

Remember Katrina? Hundreds of thousands of people ignored the warnings and were hit hard, they followed the government, or waited to be rescued. We
saw exactly the same thing with Isaac, even though these people had survived through Katrina they ignored warnings and stayed, then waited for a
rescue!

They need to justify their jobs, so they have to still be there, but at the same time they know that they cannot possibly help everyone in a given
situation. This is a way for them to impress upon the next generation the need to be self sufficient in an emergency to increase chances of survival
and reduce the reliance on government too.

Personally, I think more and more young people are waking up to the fact that the government will not save you. I don't think they need to have this
stunt to persuade most people to look after their own interests as a priority - more and more people are already doing that because they trust their
government less and less, and they see instances of natural disaster increasing.

You're not thinking critically, which means you would die in a zombie scenario in week 1 or 2. Don't worry, most would, exacerbating the epidemic to
unholy proportions.

See, the thing about Zombie prep is not the zombies. It's the survival aspects. One must prep food, resources for first aid, resources for wilderness
survival, and resources for community establishment and cohesion. One needs to have emergency MRE's, flashlights, water, water purification
resources, and contingency kits ready at a moment's notice. Plans for evacuation, beyond main highways, must be mapped out. Plans for meeting spots
for families, shelters for the displaced, and efforts to rebuild are a necessity.

The zombies are always a #2 threat. DoHS looks like it's giving too many people the benefit of the doubt in the way of critical thought.

In case of a real Zombie threat: That gun is going to get you killed. Shoot a zombie...more come. You set off a moaning domino effect, and they begin
to horde. "Oh cool, I shot 13 zombies." Now 40 more are honed in on your location and a moaning effect begins to attract loose groups of the walking
dead to your location from miles out. All that ammunition and bravado would be your end.

If you want to be the big man on the block, use melee weapons...and sparingly so.

Survival #1
Zombie Threat #2
........
Zombie engagement #9000001

If survival and emergency planning is #1 then it perfectly parallels hurricane and natural disaster preparedness. How DARE the DoHS use levity in
discussing such a thing.

Did you check out that song i posted? lunatic fringe
It was inspired by rising hate of a certain people but if you think about it then you can see how the lunatic fringe would be all extremist in any
direction. The extremist are being pushed along in every direction by tptb and there sittin back taking bets on who goes off the deep end first. I am
prepared but i harbor no hate for people.

Yes i remember katrina and i'm not gonna debate that with you cause it is obvious that we have a different outlook on the situation. Just keep in
mind that an entire city was destroyed.
As far as the recent hurricane goes it was a small hand full of people that were in danger. The reporters couldn't buy a good story in that case.

During katrina i along with several others with boats were turned away by a bunch of aholes in cammo because they had the situation under control.
However we made it back home in time to see on tv the people stranded and dead of thirst.

Everything in our society is scripted including the need for zombie preparedness.

I wonder if they go all out like they do with other drills. Like having pretend victims for emergency workers to practice and maybe have some make-up
artists turn ppl into a zombies as the hord grows...
